Reading is one of life’s greatest pleasures; it is good for your mental health and for your soul.  Not only that, but students who read regularly and enjoy reading are proven to do much better in exams than those who do not (thus increasing their life chances and future prospects).  This Spring, we are therefore giving you the gift of reading!

This year, our selection of books has been chosen by our FemSoc in celebration of International Women’s Day.

All students (and staff) will choose one book from the selection here. Students will need to tell their form tutor which book they choose on Monday 21st February. Your book will arrive on International Women’s Day (8th March 2022).  Read it, enjoy it, talk about it with others who have also read it (and with me!), swap it with someone who chose a different book or keep it to read it again.  We’ve suggested books for Ks3, KS4 and Sixth Form but you can choose a book from any list whatever year group you are in.
